Stuffed Baked Potatoes

Do you have leftovers sitting in your fridge? Consider combining them and stuffing them inside a large baked potato for a quick meal. We frequently have leftover veggies and chicken or taco meat, so last week I decided to take those and make a new creation.

1. Bake potato. I do this step in the microwave & then finish off in the oven if I am not ready for the potato yet. Simply wash the potato, prick with a fork and place in the microwave. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, then flip & repeat. Stick a knife or fork in to test doneness. The knife or fork will easily slide in if the potato is done.

2. Heat remaining leftovers and then place on top of/inside potato. Top with cheese and the microwave for 30 – 60 seconds.

3. Top with remaining cold ingredients & enjoy.

Get creative & make whatever combos sound good to you. This is a great meal for these chilly nights we have had lately and all of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free!! If you don’t have enough leftovers for the whole family, get a nice variety of toppings out – steam some broccoli, open a can of gluten-free chili or black beans.

I didn’t quite get around to my menu plan this week. While I wasn’t really watching the Super Bowl, we did have company over and I thought that being engrossed in my computer would not have been the most social way to go about the evening. The rest of the week will look something like this:
